Celebrating 21 years of Dilmah & a life time devoted to tea.

Merrill J. Fernando set out in the 1950s to offer tea drinkers the finest tea on earth. Whilst doing so, he desired to make his a genuinely ethical brand. It took nearly four decades for Merrill to fulfill his mission, but in 1988 he launched his family tea - Dilmah - the first producer owned tea brand in the world, handpicked, perfected and packed at source and shipped within days to tea drinkers around the world.

For twenty one years Dilmah has offered consumers the first producer owned, garden fresh, unblended, ethical and single origin tea. On the 21st Anniversary of Dilmah we restate our commitment to the family values on which Merrill J. Fernando founded his brand.

In Ceylon, a country famous for its tea, there is a tea famous for its taste. Dilmah.

  Dilmah introduced lovers of fine tea to the concept of tea 'picked, perfected and packed' at origin. Being owned and managed by a tea producer, Dilmah is also a role model for producing countries. Dilmah presents an unmatched collection of teas, each tasted and selected with the benefit of decades of experience in tea, and most importantly with a passion for quality.
